In this exercise, you will apply what you know about opaque, translucent and transparent materials Think of the materials that you need to build a house. You might use bricks, wood, glass and tinted glass. Some parts of the house need to let the light in. But for other parts of the house you need to let no light in, or perhaps just a little light.

If we want a picture of ourselves or our friends, we can take a photograph. Before photography was invented, people had their portraits painted by an artist. This was expensive. Then, in the middle of the 18th century in Europe, people had their portrait cut from black card. This was much cheaper than having a painting done. These cut out pictures became known as silhouettes. The word ‘silhouette’ comes from the name of Etienne de Silhouette, a French finance minister. He became very unpopular with the French people because he cut costs, so his name became associated with anything done or made cheaply a Who was Etienne de Silhouette? © wy was the portrait cut from black card named after Etienne de Silhouette? go Draw a silhouette portrait of a member of your family in the space below. 5 Shadows GESEEEEZY what attects the size of a shadow? In this exercise, you will think about what affects the size of a shadow. Look at the picture of a lamp shining on a mug. A shadow of the mug forms on the screen.

Janine and Sephora did an investigation to find out how shadow lengths change throughout the day, They found a bench in the school yard and measured the length of the shadow it made at 08:30. At lunch time they found people sitting on the bench, but they managed to measure the shadow again. They forgot to note down the time. At 16:30, they went back to the bench, but it had been moved. They measured the shadow again and noted the time. a Do you think they collected enough evidence to make a conclusion about how shadow lengths change throughout the day? Explain your answer. iz In what ways was their investigation not a fair test? 8 Predict how the shadow length changed between: 08:30 and lunchtime b Lunchtime and 16:30. GESEEEZD | Measuring light intensity In this exercise, you will apply what you know about light intensity to analyse some data. Light intensity can be measured in a unit called a lux. The table shows some examples of light intensity. The letters A, B, C and D refer to question B night sky with no moon 0.27-1.0 family living room lights 320-500 office lighting sunrise or sunset on a clear day 10 000-25 000 full daylight (not direct sun) 32 000-130 000 a What is light intensity? 8 In the table there are four examples of lit surfaces that have been labelled A,B,C and D. Predict which of these is TV studio lighting Outside on a dark, overcast day Outside when the Moon is full Direct sunlight 13> ft t-e-w How scientists measured and understood light | In this exercise, you will read about how scientists invented and improved the light bulb. Solutions Sir Joseph Swan was the first to make a light bulb. He used a carbon paper filament. This worked well but burned up very quickly. In 1878, Thomas Edison improved the electric light bulb. He used a filament wire, but put the filament inside a glass bulb. He replaced the air in the bulb with a special gas that allowed the filament to burn for longer. Edison experimented with different materials to make a filament produce a brighter light and last longer. First he used a filament made from burnt sewing thread, and then he used bamboo filaments. Soon he had developed a light bulb that lasted 1500 hours. In 1903, Willis Whitney invented a treatment for the filament so that it wouldn't darken the inside of the bulb as it glowed. In 1910, William David Coolidge invented a tungsten filament. a How did Edison and Whitney use creative thinking to improve the light bulb?

Ty Label the Sun, the Earth and the Moon in the picture. 8 Draw and label the orbit made by the Moon and part of the orbit made by the Earth. 6 Earth’s movements ra | Exercise 6.2 | Does the Sun move? In this exercise, you will apply what you know about the apparent position of the Sun in the sky at different times of day. Look at the pictures of a tree which are labelled 1-5. Each picture shows the Sun in a different position and the shadow of a different length. Drawing number 1 represents 07:00 in the morning. BB which drawing represents each of these times? a 10:00 b 13:00 c¢ 16:00 d 19:00 BB Name the two factors that you used to decide which drawing represented each time. | Exercise 6.3 | The Earth rotates on its axis In this exercise you will compare the rotation of different planets. Earth is one of the planets in the solar system. All the planets in the solar system rotate on their axis. But they rotate at different speeds. Look at the data in the table. Mercury takes 59 Earth days to make one rotation. This means that one day on Mercury would be like 59 days on Earth! Period of rotation in Earth time 59 Earth days 243 Earth days BB wnat does rotation mean? EB when a planet rotates on its axis, what does the half of the planet facing the Sun experience? a: Which planet has the longest day? If you lived on this planet, and slept for half the day, how long would you have to sleep for every day? Which planet has the shortest day? If you lived on this planet, how many hours would you be at school each day if, on Earth, you spend about six hours at school each day? 6 Earth’s movements 4a Sunrise and sunset In this exercise, you will analyse data about sunrise and sunset. Here are some data about sunrise and sunset in Karachi, Pakistan. Length of day | Change — is day getting longer or shorter?

Qo Which month of the year does this diagram represent? 6 Earth’s movements Pex | Exploring the solar system In this exercise, you will read about Jupiter and answer questions. Jupiter is the largest planet in the solar system. Jupiter rotates on its axis once every ten Earth hours. One of Jupiter’s revolutions around the Sun takes 12 Earth years. Jupiter has four large moons, and at least 24 small moons that revolve around it. Jupiter is a gas giant. It consists mainly of two gases, hydrogen and helium, with smaller amounts of other gases in the surface layers. Robotic probes have been sent to Jupiter. The images sent back by the probes show colourful bands of clouds surrounding Jupiter. No water has been found on Jupiter. Bc wich star does Jupiter revolve around? b How long does one revolution take? 8 Is daytime longer or shorter on Jupiter than it is on Earth? Ba Compare the surfaces of Earth and Jupiter. BB «How can we continue to find out more about Jupiter and its moons? b Do you think it would be possible for a spacecraft to land on Jupiter? Explain why or why not. GESEEEEA Exploring the stars In this exercise, you will find out about a telescope in Africa and use your knowledge to answer questions. Southern African Large Telescope (SALT) is the largest optical telescope in the southern hemisphere and one of the largest in the world. SALT is located in an observatory on high land, 350km from the nearest city. It was opened in 2005. The telescope contains 91 mirrors. Each mirror measures 11 m across. SALT can detect light from distant objects in the universe that are a billion times too faint to be seen with the naked eye. Astronomers from all over the world come to the observatory to use SALT and do their research. They exchange ideas and work together to explain things they observe. a What is an optical telescope? Aa Why is the location of SALT a good place for an optical telescope? What is the purpose of the mirrors in the telescope? o Japan, Mongolia and the United Kingdom are all countries in the northern hemisphere. Why do you think astronomers from these countries like to work at the observatory in Southern Africa? 6 Earth’s movements eR inguage review This exercise checks that you understand the scientific words used in this unit.
